Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Year Two)Īfter fanatically adhering to the source material in the original, director Chris Columbus stretches his wings more this time around (though he’s still probably too obsessed with cramming minor details into the film). With the actors secure in their roles and the pressure of bringing a beloved literary work to the screen in the past, Secrets feels more fanciful. It’s also the first hint that the franchise won’t be sticking to upbeat family-friendly fare. Some of the subtle changes that were lost in the Blu-ray version are recaptured here with a very strong job of adjusting the colours to bring out some of the lost, darker tones. The CGI, particularly Dobby and the basilisk, seems noticeably improved over the original. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Year Three)Ĭolumbus gives way to Alfonso Cuarón ( Children of Men), the late David Harris is replaced by Michael Gambon as Dumbledore, and Gary Oldman joins the cast.
